Transformers: Windblade #2CYBERTRON UNDER FIRE! Someone is out to kill WINDBLADE—but discovering who means turning to some less-than-savory ’Bots.

The full comic will be released tomorrow, Wednesday, May 21. But for now, check out the preview after the jump if you don't mind spoilers, then come back later today for the TFW2005 review!

By Red Goblin from TFW2005:Like we previously reported, Oreo brand released its brand new TV commercial for their Transformers 4 Age of Extinction campaign.

The commercial is directed by Michael Bay himself, and it uses a whole lot of the infamous scene where Optimus gets shot by Lockdown... twice. From this commercial, we see get to see the extended version of it and Optimus gets shot from behind first (like in the trailers), then when he turns around, he gets the final shot that knocks him down. But of course he gets up by the power of... Oreos.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Jagex has dropped us a line with some news and updates on the Transformers Universe game.

First up, there is a second livestream of the game planned over at Twitch.tv. It's kicking off tomorrow, 20 May 2014, at 6pm GMT / 1pm EST. If you have not already, you might want to bookmark the Transformers Universe channel on Twitch.tv to check this out. You'll get to see the latest version of the game played live, showcasing its many features.

Second, Jagex has teamed up with Plantronics Gaming to give away a gold Founders Pack (worth £79.99). It's a sweepstakes and at the current time it is only open to residents of the UK and Ireland - but if you like me live in the UK, click here and check out the contest.

But that's not all - Jagex have also let us know that they will be releasing a special "behind the scenes" video later this week, to shed some light on the process behind the development of the MOTA. Lastly if you are in London in the UK, Jagex will be at the MCM Comic Con - giving you a chance to get hands on with the new game!

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Snakas has posted a (Japanese language) roundup of the recent Transformers 30th anniversary celebration event in Japan, where the Takara-Tomy Transformers team were in attendance.

While at the event, the team dropped a few hints at future plans. The first hint was that the team want to put out more Generation 1 themed recolors of the Age of Extinction Dinobot toys in addition to the already-announced recolors of Grimlock and Slug.

The second one which will please Masterpiece fans was a declaration that in the future, more Destron Masterpieces will come out. No hints at whom, though with Takara-Tomy's trend at looking to the early years of Transformers, safe bets might be the likes of Shockwave, a new Megatron, Galvatron, or possibly the three Decepticon "conehead" jets given the easy mold reuse potential. Keep it TFW for more news on that morsel!

It was also hinted that more past Transformers Movie toys might make an appearance in the Takara-Tomy Movie Advanced line, the Japanese version of the Age of Extinction Generations series which has already featured reuses of the popular Battle Blade Optimus Prime and Battle Blade Bumblebee toys.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Renderform have unveiled another two projects tonight. The first one is Death Czar, an alternate head for Predacons Rising Darksteel to convert him into the big bad of Transformers Victory, Deathsaurus! This new set includes a new head and also a new weapon which is modeled on Deathsaurus' weapon from Transformers Victory. It's a limited run of 250 pieces, and complements the recent Reprolabels Darksteel to Deathsaurus sticker set rather nicely.

A second set, named "Crimson Faust", is also being produced. This set is a red version of the Death Czar and is colored to go with Transformers Go Budora, to convert him into a homage of Deathsaurus' Brave series redeco, Red Geist - which you may also know as Shattered Glass Deathsaurus.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Cartoon Network have updated their site with a small promotional area for Transformers Age of Extinction. While there is nothing new, per se, you might find some of the material on the site interesting, particularly the demonstrations of how some of the transformations work.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Via Planet Iacon on Facebook we have learned that in addition to this year's Asian market reissues of the Masterpiece series Transformers, in 2015 - to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Transformers releasing in Japan, possibly - Takara-Tomy will be reissuing four of the Masterpiece series Transformers. The four to be reissued are MP-12 Lambor / Sideswipe and MP-14 (Red) Alert in February 2015, followed by MP-11 Starscream version 2 in March 2015 and then to top it all off, MP-10 Convoy version 2 will be reissued in April 2015.

These reissues are almost a year away - but that means more time to put aside some money if you missed out on these guys the first time out.

By Red Goblin from TFW2005:Thanks to Youtube channel ResurrectecForEver, we have a semi new trailer for Transformers 4 Age of Extinction!

It is basically the theatrical trailer we saw last week, but there are some new additions and alterations. Instead of ReallySlowMotion's amazing music, now it has Imagine Dragon's new song for the movie; Battle Cry. And there are also some new scenes like Crosshairs doing a front flip while jumping off from the drone ship, and the famous ''Sweetie, hand me my alien gun!'' scene we heard from Cinemacon. Enjoy!

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Perfect Effect haven't stopped at just showing off the Warden redeco today, folks. They've also partially revealed their next project, Deathstalker - an unofficial version of Scorponok. Thus far only the head itself has been revealed - but a partially silhouetted image shows the main figure itself, standing a fair amount taller than the already substantial Warden. Check out the first images of this interesting project attached to this post.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Perfect Effect have unveiled a redeco of their popular Warden unofficial Fortress Maximus figure. This figure, Guardian, is based on the colors of the Brave Maximus version of Fort Max (or if you prefer, it is homaging Robots in Disguise Fortress Maximus). Two versions are planned - an 800 piece limited edition version launching at conventions starting in June 2014, which will feature special box art. It's listed as being available at conventions in USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Japan, Singapore - so chances are you will be able to find this at major summer conventions such as TFcon 2014 and Auto Assembly 2014. A regular edition is also stated to be planned for fourth quarter 2014 if you miss out on the convention exclusive version.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Renderform have unveiled one of their next projects, which is a collaboration with online store Toy Dojo. This set, P.A.X. is a new head for Toyworld's Orion (aka unofficial IDW Optimus Prime) which looks much closer to the source material. It's a 200 piece limited edition run - and for long time 2005 Boards members, you may be interested to know that the initial sculpt was done by long-time boards member Weewoo - who you might remember for her awesome and professional level CGI fanart of Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Toys R Us Japan have updated their website with official images of the Japanese market Transformers Movie Advance series releases for June, Dino and Soundblaster. Dino was an Autobot who featured in Transformers Dark of the Moon, but never had a toy release back then - this release finally lets fans add Dino to their Autobot lineup. He's a remolded Revenge of the Fallen Sideways. Alongside Dino is Soundblaster or "Darkside Soundwave" as he is officially known. He's a redeco of the Dark of the Moon Soundwave who was intended to be released as a part of the post Dark of the Moon movie all-stars line which never saw a release.

Both are arriving next month, in June - until then, check out these updated official images of the pair.

By StayingInTheBox from TFW2005:The independent group KFC Toys has just revealed their next project via their Weibo page, which will be "Tempest" an unofficial Cyclonus figure. We have several pictures of the new project already as well as a translation of some details:

2005 Boards member [Wing_Saber-X] was there at the event and provided us with some images from the launch.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Just when you thought Takara-Tomy had exhausted the list of "unusual things a Transformer can turn into" (which includes shoes, working computer mice and ice lollies) we learn of this latest Optimus Prime coming out in Japan - who transforms from a fully articulated robot into a working pen.

By StayingInTheBox from TFW2005:A pre-order page has been listed on Amazonfor the IDW Windblade trade paperwork, due to be released October 14, 2014. The following description was provided:

In the aftermath of Dark Cybertron, Windblade takes the planet by storm! But where did she come from - and what does her secret mean to the future of the Transformers?

Fans of the recent IDW Transformers comics will not want to miss this mini-series! If you can't wait till October, be sure to purchase issue #1 (already released) and get ready for issue #2 later this month.

By StayingInTheBox from TFW2005:Thanks to TFW2005 boards members SoundBlaster7 and daimchoc we have several in-hand images of the Takara Age Of Extinction figures. Many fans have already gotten their hands on Hasbro releases (today marks the official launch day) so hopefully these images will help your decision on picking up either Hasbro's releases or ordering Takara's versions (or maybe you'll just buy both version!).
